What Happens In Paradise by Elin Hildebrand - Rating: 3.5/5What Happens in Paradise is the second installment to the Winter in Paradise trilogy. I read the first book in February on a flight from Miami and honestly from the start I wasn't obsessed, but 5 hours later and no in-flight movies watched I finished the entire book, so of course when the second book was available on Book of the Month, I jumped at it. It's hard to review a sequel without giving away spoilers from the first, so I'm going to keep it vague here. First off, the second book wasn't filled with as much drama as Winter in Paradise, but rather focused on all the budding relationships from the previous books. The main plot of the series is to find out why and how Russ Steele was killed with his mistress on the island of St. John and I was hoping we would inch closer to getting some answers, but it seems like Elin Hildebrand is waiting to spill it all in the final book. Like the first book (and most of Hildebrand's books) it's the perfect beach read that's fast, fun, and little who-dun-it.Is it a must read? Yes, if you've read the first! They would both be perfect for an island get away this winter.
